You’re more likely to hear Star Wars music while walking around Main Street or Frontierland, played by the Disneyland Band, than in the land actually dedicated to it.

Wonder if they’ll use the extra time they have to tinker with ROTR to swap out Kylo Ren for Vader. The lack of OG characters is too big of a complaint for Disney to ignore.

Fast Pass isn’t being used yet, but the sights are similar. You go around the periphery of the main engine repair room, and merge with standby before the preshow.

I even learned a few new things!

Crowds are noticing higher today and they’ll likely pick up this weekend before the Fourth of July. So enjoy it while it lasts.

Not true. In fact, they’re already recruiting CMs for the Spider-Man shooter opening next summer.

Today was my third trip to Batuu. Crowds are picking up a little. Wait time for Smuggler’s Run was posted as 90 minutes for a while, mid-day. Didn’t care much about the ride, but I was with people who wanted to ride it since it was their first time. I like it less and less each time I ride it...

Interesting thing is that for about 1/3 of the spots in Pixar Pals, it will be just as fast, or faster, to use the Mickey and Friends escalators. The crowds aren’t going to be distributed evenly between the two sets of escalators at all.

Enjoyed some drinks at Oga’s this morning. I think the cast there is super energetic and in theme. When Rex broke down, all the bar staff began banging on various pipes and machinery to get it “back up”.

I think two operational changes will happen during this first summer: 1. The land’s entrances need signage. Currently, the Big Thunder Trail has trail signs for Frontierland and Fantasyland, but GE is unmarked. I heard guests today wondering what was down that path, but ultimately continuing on...

Spoke to someone today planning on visiting Disneyland but *not* GE because they think it’s still reservation only and don’t want to deal with the madness. Disney may include the dates of when reservations stop, but the message people get is only “It’s too crowded. Don’t even try”

How’s rope drop for Galaxy’s Edge? Is it the place to be in the early morning, or does it get hit with crowds at opening? Is it better to go there first or wait until the afternoon?

Some of the damage still isn’t fixed. The turnstiles are removed, and the way the curtains are pulled back removed any buffer between it and Main Street. You can easily see the theaters from Main Street, which removes a lot of the mystique. I also think there are way too many benches inside. The...

Have a nice trip. I’m excited to hear your thoughts. Evenings at Disneyland have been a delight without worrying about queues and baffling crowds.

... it also has one of the best Animatronics not found in an attraction, of the eponymous store operator. You can really take in all the detail. The movements of his fingers and lips something you’d never notice if they were on an attraction. Only criticism is the placement: you have to be tall...

Each level of Pixar Pals is lit a different color.

So opening day isn’t even complete, and there’s been an announcement on The Hub that blockout dates for guest sign-ins have been lifted for the next two weeks. Evidently, this is not what they were expecting.
